Lee and David:

There is another private based company, Phytelligence (www.phytelligence.com) which offers inexpensive, and rapid plant genetic analysis services for variety confirmation all the way through whole genome sequencing for new variety patent bolstering. 

They have a full genetics lab at their Pullman, WA facility. They are a spinout company from Washington State University and they offer DNA certified true to type rootstocks as well. Their sales guy is Tim O’Brien - timobrien at phytelligence.com  Direct: 206-719-5317

>> I am in the process of applying for patents on some new apple varieties and think it might be a good idea to include a DNA genotype sequence to the "uniqueness" description, Has anyone done this and what lab can do this? I searched google and found Biogentics Lab offer this service, anybody have any experience here?  What should this cost?   Lee Elliott, Upstart Nursery, Winchester, Illinois
